If you are looking into Steinhardt I’d suggest REALLY looking into their program. It’s rigorous and you will do a lot of studio classes and have to keep up with NYU liberal Arts courses. Essentially you will be doing a lot of work over your next four years. People in the program say it follows a generalist curriculum where you will be learning a variety of mediums. There is no main focus in the art department, as it teaches you how to be an artist as a whole, not in any particular area. If commercial art is your main focus, maybe you should look into SVA or Parsons. Those are very well known schools and are great in that field and is still in NY!

GPA/SAT scores are extremely important, but not as important as your artist’s statement/portfolio. They admit around 50-60 kids each year into the program, so it’s safe to say you need to have an awesome GPA, SAT[which you do], porfolio, essay, and art-related extracurriculars and job experience.

Good luck!
